my feet are on the straight and narrow and I'm feeling trapped and lonely

I wish I had something of great substance to contribute, but I'm sort of in an odd place tonight. Suffice it to say that I empathize with that feeling of being cut off from your community, and I hope you find a way to reconnect.

I just wanted to touch briefly on something you said early in your statement. Well, okay, two things

I'm sorry that things aren't feeling optimal for you at the moment. I think that there is some expectation that we have culturally of what college is. That it is a place of higher learning (whatever that means) with a diverse mix of the most open-minded people that our society has to offer. It's really sad that it isn't a reality

The feelings of loneliness you're talking exactly match what I feel sometimes; it's what made me say "Oh my goddess, I can't believe that people as awesome as you and your little family cluster _exist_! I've been waiting my whole life to meet people like you" etc. Awesome people are rarities, and finding them is difficult. I feel incredibly lucky to know you, because it really felt like meeting with someone I'd known forever.

But in the rest of my existence, those types of people, that feeling, is rarer than the deep thirsty blue boulder opals that I love so much. I really hope you meet some people, and I think Anita's right, that the campus LGBT group is a good place to start. A lot of people do conform, play by the rules, etc, but not all of us. I sincerely hope you find who you are looking for.

Hiya. Don't know how much you've been on LJ but I bought myself a house. I have a guest bedroom that I call The Eeyore Room because my Eeyore collection is in there and the walls are colored somewhat like Eeyore. I didn't paint them. They came that way with the house. It has a queen size bed in it with a purpleish bedspread. Come visit. I live in Rossville, GA now.
